Do you really think that is the problem?
Over 50% of Japanese pregnancies end in abortion all ready. Most of these are done by married women. They and their husbands agree that when you live in a 500 square foot apartment with a sunlight machine because the buildings block out the natural light, having a child is not a good idea.
How about getting the government out of people's business? That would be much more successful.
“Over 50% of Japanese pregnancies end in abortion”
Wow, I did not know that. That’s terrible.
If we look at history, we can see that a country needs its own food supply. Maybe this decade looks safe enough, but history shows that each country needs its own food supply.
Building on the farmland is just a temporary fix, wouldn’t you say?
Disagree, Corps pay their share of taxes so whatever comes back to them is certainly not free. The only free bennies go to the parasites unwilling to work and yet they receive far and away the vast majority of free-to-them bennies. 48% of the population pay no federal income tax and 43 million are on food stamps, plus rent subsidy, welfare, Aid to depen children, utility subsidy, free cell phones, free medical care, and the list goes on.
Almost every city is built on either farm land or at a port. Many both.
Farm land is not something scarce or special. People make it sound that way generally because they have an agenda. Usually that agenda is to force people into living in high rise apartments in cities.
Once again things would ease if the government would quit meddling. People would find a natural balance if the government would stay out of it. They make it sound benevolent, "oh we are just saving farm land". What they are doing is forcing people to live in a unnatural manner so they can control them.
YES!!!
But subsidizing smaller farmers is just fine? And how many Freepers hold Ryan up as a conservative hero?

thanks for posting
“Acumen” has nothing to do with it. Farmers are the hardiest, bravest, most tenacious and courageous businessmen there are. Put them out of business and you shoot yourself in the foot. Who do you think will take over the farmland that’s lost when they go under, the Tooth Fairy?
So my first-hand experience posts are silly, eh? Better than being an uninformed idiot who probably doesn’t know a combine from a tractor.
“Disagree, Corps pay their share of taxes so whatever comes back to them is certainly not free.”
Woah, wait what? Can I get free govt bennies too? I could use a new corvette and why not? I pay taxes too!!
Corps paid $191 billion in fed taxes last year—9% of total. These are the direct taxes. Substantial profits are spun off to share holders in the form of dividends and capital gains which also generate taxes. Nothing is for free except to the progs/libs/parasites who pay nothing and receive the majority of benefits—see the difference between free and getting to keep something you already paid for? It ain’t free if you already paid for it. How do you not get this? I hope you are not a prog in freeper clothing.
